We performed a spectroscopic study to characterize the evolutionary state of the stellar population in the N159/N160 Complex (in the LMC) with the aim of understanding the possible star formation scenario that has been taking place there. N159/N160 extends at the southern edge of 30 Dor (approx. 600 pc) and conforms a massive star formation region, in which it is possible to resolve individual stars while still appreciate the large scale structure of the whole region.
